Bob,
Yes, I understand that some Lipno church records are in the EZA. Is is possible a set of duplicate books ended up in EZA Berlin?
There also are some Lipno church records in the Wloclawek branch of the Torun Archives. The Pradziad shows Evangelical birth records from 1809 to 1906 but it does not state on their wesite that any have been filmed, although some years (years 1808 to 1865) were microfilmed in 1969 and 1970 by the LDS when the records were in the Bydgoszcz archives at that time.
I believe the majority of the church records which were in Congress Poland area, are in Polish State Archives. But I could be wrong too.

Hi all:
I'm new here & started looking over recent past emails.
Re the Subject line, I'm surprized that EZAB.DE wasn't mentioned..
EZA has (suposedly) all the eastern Europe Lutheran church records
from the
days when Germans, & their churches, were expelled from Polish &
other
territories after WWII.
I recently found their site, emailed them with my gfather's name,
birth city
(it was wrong) & birthday (it was wrong too) his brother's info
(which was
Lipno & right), and two siblings names (I had just discovered
searching Ellis
Island records.)
They emailed back in less than 24 hours with the names of of his 8
siblings!
They mentioned several Krampitz families in Lipno, but the given
names matched,
though they couldn't find my gfather's.
When I gave them the correct names of his parents (they had a
different one)
it took them another 24 hours to find my gfather's record, his
mother's death,
and the remarriage of his father.
2 hrs & copying charges came to a bit over 100Euros. Once I
confirmed that
I wanted copies, they mailed the package & I received in about a
week+ later.
Which was *BEFORE* I sent the wire transfer.
(& have the right bank & there's no fees!)..
Check them out before you go to any archives that want payment before
they
tell you anything.

P.S. I have new information for the master list once I figure out how to
add all
that info in a form that's wanted.
